Golden Spike laid 150 years ago, Making America Great!
https://apnews.com/031acf6d4722419b928d7f4e2cee3c5e

A meeting of the American Free Trade League of New York ... the following resolution was adopted:
“Resolved, That in the opening of the great Pacific railroad today, connecting New York and San Francisco, we recognize a pledge, not only for one country, one constitution and one destiny, but with a due regard to the revenue, for the freest sort of trade with all countries and all continents.”

Rump's trade war, doesn't seem to be in the same spirit of Making America Great.

Don't the workers who work for the companies owned and run by the 1%ers end as 'drones and worker bee's'.
And isn't it those 1%ers that maximise the profits and by doing that give themselves big fat bonuses off the backs of said 'drones and worker bee's' and then use expensive accountants to minimise their taxes, to zero in one prominent person's case, and then place those tax free $'s off shore.

Drones and worker bees was meant in the context of mindless zombies who vote as they are told by the Queen, not withstanding the facts of their existence, but since you went there I can only agree with Clyde's assessment and add:

Wages in the United States increased 4.19 percent in March of 2019 over the same month in the previous year. Wage Growth in the United States averaged 6.20 percent from 1960 until 2019, reaching an all time high of 13.78 percent in January of 1979 and a record low of -5.88 percent in March of 2009.

When compared to the other members of the G20 no one has matched the increases of the US.

Country Last Previous
Argentina 2.74 Feb/19 %
Australia 2.30 Dec/18 %
Canada 1.10 Feb/19 %
Euro Area 2.30 Dec/18 %
France 0.4 Jun/18 %
Germany 1.40 Dec/18 %
Italy 1.50 Mar/19 %
Japan -0.80 Feb/19 %
Netherlands 2.34 Apr/19 %
Russia 0.00 Mar/19 %
Switzerland 0.50 Sep/18 %
United Kingdom 3.50 Feb/19 %
United States 4.19 Mar/19 %

Unemployment is at all time lows in all measurable categories (Race, Sex, occupation). And the job creation rate is projected to increase in 2019 and 2020.

Gosh you think that socialist/liberal/left crap about $15/HR minimum had any effect on that?

May cause Rump leakage too.

A riot is the language of the unheard. -Martin Luther King, Jr.

Former FBI Director James B. Comey said Thursday that he thinks President Trump likely has committed crimes that could be cause for indictment once he leaves office and, were he not president, likely would already have been indicted.

#2 - Comey did not commit any criminal offense and Trump is in serious trouble.

About 800 ex-prosecutors say Trump would be charged with obstruction if he wasn’t president
Updated: Donald Trump would have been charged with obstruction of justice if he wasn’t president, based on evidence described in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, according to a statement signed by hundreds of former federal prosecutors. As of Wednesday afternoon, about 800 former federal prosecutors and Department of Justice attorneys had signed the statement.

Somehow I think Comey is correct and Rump needs Johnnie Cochran!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congressional Democrats, faced with blanket opposition to their oversight probes by President Donald Trump, are considering more contempt citations against administration officials who defy their subpoenas, a leading Democrat said on Friday.

U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said lawmakers may bundle numerous contempt citations from different committees into a single resolution that the full House of Representatives could then vote on.

Another option is reviving Congress’s “inherent” contempt authority. Some Democrats say that would allow lawmakers to fine uncooperative officials up to $25,000 per day.

Some Democrats are also calling for impeachment proceedings against recalcitrant Trump Cabinet members.

Nadler told reporters that the House Intelligence Committee would soon hold a contempt vote. Other Democratic lawmakers have suggested action against Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin for refusing to turn over Trump’s tax returns.

He also reiterated plans to hold former White House counsel Don McGahn in contempt if he does not show up to testify before the panel under subpoena on May 21.

“He knows that if he doesn’t testify on the 21st without a court order, which he won’t get, he’ll be subject to a contempt citation,” the chairman said.

Barr has said he has no objection to Mueller testifying. But Trump has tweeted that Mueller should not testify.

The Justice Department told the House committee that Mueller is expected to leave his post in “a matter of weeks”, according to Nadler, who rejected the idea that there might a benefit to the special counsel testifying as a private citizen.

“Is there a benefit? No! He may prefer to do that because he’s then more free from the instructions of the Department of Justice,” the chairman said.

President Trump has now eclipsed the 10,000 lie mark during his tenure in the White House.

A man died and went to Heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.

He asked, ‘What are all those clocks?’

St. Peter answered, ‘Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone who has ever been on earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock move.’

‘Oh’, said the man. ‘Whose clock is that?’

‘That’s Mother Teresa’s’, replied St. Peter. ‘The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.

‘Incredible’, said the man. ‘And whose clock is that one?’

St. Peter responded, ‘That’s Abraham Lincoln’s clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abraham told only two lies in his entire life.’

‘Where’s Donald Trump’s clock?’ asked the man.

St Peter replied, ‘Jesus has it in his office. He uses it as a ceiling fan.’

The latest Pentagon statement on Friday said only that Washington was "ready to defend US forces and interests in the region", adding that the US did not seek conflict with Iran.

Build up to Gulf War 3?

Somebody needs to tell the "Bimbo" that playing Poker in the Middle East is highly dangerous.

...........Agreed........'highly dangerous' to the Ayatollah and his minions. They still imagine they are dealing with a weak kneed wimp who draws red lines then cowers when his bluff is called.

This is a direct response to a very real threat made against US personnel and will be devastating to Iran if they press the issue. The news that the USS Arlington (LPD-24), a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock, has been attached to the Lincoln task group signals that if a conflict occurs it will not just be an air war response.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibious_transport_dock

An amphibious transport dock, also called a landing platform/dock (LPD),[1] is an amphibious warfare ship, a warship that embarks, transports, and lands elements of a landing force for expeditionary warfare missions.[2] Several navies currently operate this kind of ship. The ships are generally designed to transport troops into a war zone by sea, primarily using landing craft, although invariably they also have the capability to operate transport helicopters.

The Arlington could also be conceivably utilized as a quick evacuation tool of persons in harms way.

The other shoe is the deployment of B-52s which would indicate a very heavy bombardment response or the use of multiple rotary launch cruise missile platforms.

Ah, but do you have the courage to go it alone as you "wish" to protect American interests in the region, or like 1 & 2 you seek "allies" to cover your butts in case of another round of "Fake Intelligence"?

Giuliani is not the "Sharpest Tack in the Box".

So he isn't a Johnnie Cochran? Maybe he can add to the self impeachment.

Soliciting dog whistles again?

That Trump may not be the correct person to lead the moral and ethical peoples and Country's of the World in a necessary attempt, is another question.

@ Clyde
I disagree in that this is not a matter of 'leading the "moral and ethical" ' in any attempt to right the wrongs done anyone. Trump is not leading anything he is making a firm statement of 'in your face, NYC attitude' to the Religious leadership and the Revolutionary Guard of Iran, that an attack on American personnel, Military, Civilian or Diplomatic, or American property existing in the region will be dealt with immediately and most unpleasantly for Iran and it's military infrastructure.

There is precedent for taking these precautions and making such a warning......I recall 38 years ago which Religious 'Leader' and his Revolutionary Guard took 52 American diplomats and citizens hostage and held them for 444 days.

If the self stated allies of the US care to participate, I'm sure they would be welcome.

And didn't that start off all because of a western government greed causing an effect?

Cause and affect, there's always a cause (usually greed) that causes an effect (usually terrorism), but then a person of the country that gave birth to ISIS should know all about that, "Cause and Effect", shouldn't they Clyde?

Dull and Eye may not be able to make the connection to this question.

You will notice that the Anti Liberal and Intolerant Left cannot muster the moral and ethical courage to correctly attack the evil's of the Revolutionary Guard of Iran, Xi's China, Kim, evil Hamas, Maduro, et al.

Clyde please enlighten me, what is a correct attack? Be specific if you are able to be.
